. Smoke test certifies that " the sanity can be done ".
. Smoke Testing is performed to ascertain that the critical functionalities of the program is working fine
. Sanity Testing is done to check the new functionality / bugs have been fixed
. The objective of Smoke test is to verify the "stability" of the system in order to proceed with more rigorous testing.
. The objective of the testing is to verify the "rationality" of the system in order to proceed with more rigorous testing
. Smoke testing is like General Health Check Up
. Sanity Testing is like specialized health check up.

Answer / rishi
there is a lot of confussion in this issue-but clear to say as per ISTQB STANDARD smoke test and sanitary test are both same-not at all difference even a point-smoke test is part of system testing,will perform by the testers to test the basic functionalities or main functionalities whether they are working properly or not in order to carried out further testing process in a detailed-
this smoke test is done in order to find the defects earlier in the main functionalities to save the time or to minimise the cost of fixing defect.

Answer / dinesh babu.d
THERE IS SLIGHT DISCUSSION IS GOING IN SOME COMPANIES IS
THAT{some companies are saying before releasing the
build(application) to the testing department developers will
test that build is called smoke testing.}
[Some companies are saying that after releasing the build to
the testing department the black box test engineers will
conduct overall testing on that build wether it is proper
or not in order to conduct detaild testing.]
WE CAN ALSO CALL IT AS BUILD ACCEPTANCE TESTING(BAT) r BUILD
VERIFICATION TESTING (BVT).
